Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Revelation 1:13

The man looked like "a son of man." This expression refers to the divine Messiah in Daniel 7:13-14 (cf. Daniel 3:25; Daniel 10:5-6; Daniel 10:18; Acts 7:56). "Son of Man" was Jesus’ favorite title for Himself according to the writers of the Gospels (cf. Mark 13:26). The person John saw looked like a human man. His clothing was that of a priest: a long robe with a golden sash around it. [Note: Cf. Flavius Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews, 3:7:2.] Jesus Christ’s present office is that of our... read more

John Darby

Darby's Synopsis of the New Testament - Revelation 1:13

1:13 [the] (d-11) Or 'a Son of man.' See Daniel 7:13 , also without the article. It is not likeness to a person John knew, but to the character known by this title in scripture. To have seen angels in heaven would have been no wonder, but to see one as 'Son of man' was. This chapter corresponds to Daniel 7:0 . only now he was seen on earth. It was the title the Lord habitually took. This made it personal; but in Daniel, though surely the same person, it was characteristic. Here, too, it is... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 1:1-20

The Vision of the Son of ManSt. John addresses ’the seven churches which are in Asia,’ telling them of a vision of Christ, who bade him, write in a book what he saw and send it to them.1-3. Introduction, describing the book as an ’apocalypse,’ the Gk. word which signifies ’unveiling’ or ’revelation.’ This does not mean here the unveiling of Christ at His Coming, as in 1 Corinthians 1:7; 2 Thessalonians 1:7; 1 Peter 1:7, 1 Peter 1:13; 1 Peter 4:13, but the Revelation given by Christ. The book... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Revelation 1:13

(13) In the midst of the seven candlesticks (the word “seven” is omitted in some of the best MSS.) one like unto the Son of man.—“He who kindled the light to be a witness of Himself and of His own presence with men was indeed present.” He was present the same as He had been known on earth, yet different—the same, for He is seen as Son of Man; the same as He had been seen on the Resurrection evening; the same as He appeared to Stephen; the same Jesus, caring for, helping and counselling His... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 1:1-20

God gave this Revelation to Jesus Christ so that He might, as the Son of Man, communicate this to His servants. It is He who has been entrusted with the restitution of all things, and is therefore given this revelation to show to His servants the things soon to take place. Only as servants will we be shown these things. Although all believers are servants of Jesus Christ, yet we must be servants in practice if we are to properly understand Revelation. A servant above all is obedient. Thus,... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Revelation 1:1-20

“ THE THINGS WHICH THOU HAST SEEN ” In this book we return to the atmosphere of the Old Testament, at least after the third chapter, at which point the apocalyptic part begins with a narration of events synchronizing with The Day of the Lord. The authorship is ascribed to John, who wrote the Gospel and three epistles bearing his name, and who at this time, about A.B. 95, had been banished by the Roman Emperor, to the Isle of Patmos in the Aegean Sea (Revelation 1:9 ). The date... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Revelation 1:1-20

In Patmos Rev 1:9-19 In the Book of the Revelation of John, chapter 1, from the ninth verse onward, we have a personal experience. The Apostle John tells us where he was, what he was, what he saw, what he heard, what he did. He tells us the whole story in his own name and in his own person. Anything that is autobiographical, when the person speaking is a noted or great or useful man, is ever intensely interesting and is likely to be vivid and piquant. The men who write in the Scriptures often... read more
